About the HKWC

The Hong Kong Writers Circle is a member organisation for writers of all levels and of all genres. Founded in 1991, we are devoted to creating an environment in which writers develop their writing skills and knowledge of the publishing industry with the support of their peers. The HKWC provides its members with opportunities to further their craft, to meet and network with industry professionals, to receive feedback on their work and take part in workshops, socials and our annual anthology.

For over twenty-five years, the HKWC has been a stalwart of Hong Kong's literary scene. We encourage writers across all genres to join our community, including short fiction writers and novelists, non-fiction writers and journalists, playwrights, screenwriters, filmmakers, poets and bloggers. Our members come from all corners of the globe and range from the published professional to the aspiring amateur.

Our regular activities include member critique groups, an annual anthology, seminars, workshops, readings and member-led workshops. Social events include our monthly social evenings, our Christmas party and the annual launch of our anthology, as well as opportunities to take part in other literary events around Hong Kong and the region.
